ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0236

DTC Code DTC Name
P0236 Turbo / Super Charger Boost Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance

DESCRIPTION

The turbo pressure sensor assembly is installed to the intake manifold and detects the absolute pressure inside the intake manifold as voltage. The turbo pressure sensor assembly signal changes according to the pressure. The measurement range of approximately 0.1 to 0.9 V corresponds to an intake manifold pressure of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) to 330 kPa (3.3 bar).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs registration and initialization.

  • After replacing the turbo pressure sensor assembly, the ECM needs initialization.

Tip:

  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

  1. READ VALUE USING GTS

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Atmosphere Pressure, Sensed Value of the Pressure at TrbnUs, MAP and Filtered Pressure Value at Particle Filter Upstream.

      MAP

      Filtered Pressure Value at Particle Filter Upstream

      Sensed Value of the Pressure at TrbnUs

    4. Compare the values when the ignition switch is ON.

      Standard

      Difference between the Atmosphere Pressure, Sensed Value of the Pressure at TrbnUs, MAP and Filtered Pressure Value at Particle Filter Upstream is less than 8 kPa.

      Tip:

      Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. For every 100 m increase in altitude, pressure drops by 1 kPa.

      Varies by weather.
